Wow...what a weekend! I think it's fair to say Memorial Day weekend might have been the busiest weekend we've had in quite a while! It was definitely full of fun, lots of family time and we managed to get a lot accomplished.
We started off the weekend on Saturday morning by throwing a surprise retirement party for my parents. They are both retiring from teaching this year and officially ended their school year last Friday. My sister and I have been planning the surprise party/open house for them for a little over a month now and are pleased to say that we did in fact surprise them. If you know my parents...that's saying something. They both had their suspicions, but fortunately we were able to avoid too many questions and pull of the surprise. The party was at their church and we had a great turnout. I wish we would have figured out an actual count, but we are guessing there were at least 75+ people there.

After spending a few hours at my parents visiting and relaxing, we headed back down to Indy to enjoy a nice dinner out to celebrate my Grandma and Grandpa Zurcher's 60th wedding anniversary. It was a nice evening and surprisingly both girls (Elli and Kensley) did quite well even after a full, busy day partying. We all seemed to crash though as soon as we made it home.

Sunday we were able to knock out quite a bit on our to do list and ended up packing up quite a bit in addition to finding the baby gear and getting some things washed. We spent late afternoon and early evening out on Grammy and Grampy's boat. It was Kensley's first boat ride of the season and she loved it! She obviously doesn't remember all the rides from last year so we were unsure as to how she'd do. The entire drive over to Grammy and Grampy's, Kens kept saying "boat ride" and clapping her hands...she was clearly excited about what was to come. Despite having to wear her life jacket, she seemed to love being out on the boat and didn't complain at all. I think it's safe to say, she will want to do this again very soon.

We were thankful to have Monday off to work on some more packing for our upcoming move and preparing for baby girl. I think it's safe to say that we are finally ready for baby girl's arrival! Hospital bags are packed, carseats installed, clothes washed, temporary room set up and plan for Kens in place! It feels good to know that we are at least (somewhat) prepared now. We also managed to find time to squeeze in a family trip to the pool and cookout with Nana and Papa.
